Single to Switch to Spey All in a Day

Meet with us at 9 AM on August 2nd at Shamrock Park, Berrien Springs, Michigan.
Last year was well attended, so we decided to do it again, but with additional demonstrators and exhibitors.

A new demonstrator this year is Jen Ripple, Editor of Dun Magazine. Jen spends her time teaching women’s fly tying and fly casting.

Phil Cook from Scientific Anglers, will be giving an on-the-water demo on how their lines apply to fishing in Michigan waters.

Wildcat Creek Outfitters will bring fishing Kayaks for you to trial on the river.

Greg Senyo will show how he ties his effective and beautiful steelhead flies. He will be tying throughout the day.

Your favorites, Peter Humphreys and Jeff Liskay, will demo Single to Switch to Spey casting. Plus if you have a mismatched line to rod outfit that you’re not getting along with, you can approach them to sort it out and give you some casting help as well. Peter and Jeff are also offering a private lesson on Friday the 1st.

Gary Kalinka aka Voodoofly, will represent Nextcast lines and will help budding long line casters.

Jay Anglin and Kory Boozer will give a demo on fly fishing for Smallmouth from a drift boat.

Both Great Lakes Spey Shop and Heritage Angling Products will be returning, plus Schultz Outfitters from Ypsilanti, Michigan.

St Joe Valley Fly Fishers will be on hand to discuss the St Joe River, its eco system and fishing opportunities.

The catering again will be done by Duneland Fly Fishers. The only cost is $5.00 admission to the park. Please, please, please park where the bloke taking your money asks you to to park. Don’t just throw your car down and walk away from it.

This year we are setting aside some parking spaces for those people who are not quite as mobile as they once were. These spaces will be clearly marked and will be next to the 3 cabins.

Wednesday Night Fishing- June 25, 2014

Hello all,

With all of the rain that we have had recently, options are limited due to high and stained water. I think fishing would be better on the small creeks and for that reason I am wanting to go back to Bill Westrate’s property on the Dowagiac Creek. We fished there last week, however, got forced out early due to storms. So, lets go back.

This weeks Wednesday Night Fishing will be a Bill Westrate’s property on Dowagiac Creek from 6:00 P.M. to ? Bill Westrate’s address is 21406 McKinzie St, Cassopolis, MI. (map)

Directions: From downtown Cassopolis, MI. take M-60 East to Decatur Rd. Turn left (north) on Decatur Rd and take to McKinzie Rd. Turn Left (West) on McKinzie Rd. Take McKinzie approximately 1/2 mile to where it crosses the Dowagiac Creek. Parking is on the west side of the creek and on the north side of the road.

I Hope To See You There!
